Students and academics at Fudan University appear to have protested this change. But the video of the group chanting lines from the old charter, shared on social media (domestic WeChat), has since been removed:
“The changes provoked a substantial reaction on Weibo. A professor at Fudan U’s foreign languages school, said on Weibo that the amendment is against the university’s regulations, as no discussions occurred at staff meetings. That post was later deleted.”
